Local Tree Branch Removal Incident

A Denman Island resident describes removing a large, twisted tree branch that was threatening power lines before an expected snow event. The removal was done with a pruning saw and without professional expertise, providing comic relief to neighbors.

This is the archive, not the newspaper. Between 2018 and 2026 this site compiled these items automatically from public community sources — chiefly The Islands Grapevine, regional news feeds and community groups. They were not written by a reporter and were not held to the standards this publication now applies. The archive is kept because it is a useful dated record of what happened on Denman, and it is labelled because pretending otherwise would be the first thing we would tell you not to trust. Current reporting is at The Denman Firestarter.
